Abstract
By the end of 1964, over 3,800 Volunteers will have returned from Peace Corps service. As Volunteers usually serve only two years in the Peace Corps and are far removed from guidance assistance, they have a special need for career counseling. A Peace Corps Volunteer Career Information Service has been established to help returning Volunteers with educational and career planning, to help insure maximum use of this valuable manpower resource, and to provide a means through which interested organizations can contact returning Volunteers. Among special programs attracting returning Volunteers are the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Foundation Internship program in human rights, the Washington Action for Youth teaching project at Cardozo High School (Washington, D. C.), and the Ford Foundation Study Development Fellowship program. Among the first Volunteers to return, 49 per cent are continuing their education, 12 per cent are working for the Peace Corps and other Federal agencies, 15 per cent are employed in private industry, 13 per cent are serving as teachers, and the remaining 11 per cent have not returned to this country or are non‐employed housewives.
